In addition, notice was mailed to all persons who previously indicated an interest in the application through prior Public notices.

The Chairman announced that the Director of Planning and Development would describe the purpose and effect of the proposed amendments, then the objectors would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicants. D. Crome, Manager of Strategic Planning, displayed a map of the sub-central area in Courtice, previously subject to the Courtice West Highway #2 Corridor Study, and made a verbal presentation. (a) Town of Newcastle - Report PD-80-93 - the purpose and effect of this application is to modify Amendment #41 to the Town of Newcastle Official Plan to establish a Sub-Central Area in Courtice in the general vicinity of Townline Road and King Street (Highway No.2) and a N eighbourhood Park east of Darlington Blvd. A related amendment to the Courtice West Neighbourhood Development Plan would implement the proposed modification to Amendment #4l. . Wayne BoIahood, Quantum Homes Ltd., 10 Mary Street South, Oshawa, LlH 8M3, displayed a map of the subject area and referred to Resolution #C-634-90 previously approved by Council. He expressed concerns pertaining to a 100' strip of land included as Parkland area which infringe on his site plan and interfere with his proposed parking area. The land which has been removed from his parcel for park purposes reduces the amount of his developable land and the number of his proposed units. He also articulated a concern with the "catch 22" situation pertaining to the requirements for the length of the road and the parkland. He requested assurance from Members of the Committee that the yield in the number of units and developable land will not be reduced and requested clarification of intent. He requested the opportunity to further liaise with staff of this matter. 202 G.P.& A Minutes . PUBlJC MEETINGS CONT'D. - 3 - May 17, 1993 Bruce Moase, R.R. #3, Little Britain, KOM 2CO, noted objection to this proposal because the parkland requirement removes 3 acres from his 18 acre parcel of land located on the west side of the Bolahood holdings. He stated that the topography and the contour of the land is not suitable for parkland and that the proposed park "ruins" his chances of selling his land for development purposes. Judith Campbell, 25 Bridle Court, Courtice, LlE 2B1, appeared on behalf of the majority of the Bridle Court residents and reiterated the concerns of the residents which were previously expressed at prior meetings. Although the residents are willing to live with the proposed uses, they are opposed to the zoning designation which would allow assembly halls, private clubs, coin laundry operations, pinhall arcades and pool halls as these uses would encourage teenagers to "hang out". The residents are defmitely opposed to the use which would allow a tavern. The residents of Bridle Court are opposed to any use which would jeopardize their peace and safety. . Greg Soyka, 1423 Nash Road, Courtice, LlK 1A5, articulated opposition to any proposed use which would increase noise, vandalism and devaluation of surrounding properties. When he purchased this property three years ago, he also purchased a lot located at the back of his home for development. Now that this back lot is surrounded by commercial properties, he feels he will suffer fmancialloss as the property is land- locked and it will not be economically feasible for him to develop this parcel of land. He requested that a noise impact study report be prepared. Noone spoke in support of this application. (b) Valiant Property Management - Report PD-81-93 - the purpose of this amendment is to permit an 8082 sq. metre commercial plasa on a 3.3 hectare parcel of land on the east side of Townline Road. . Judith Campbell, 25 Bridle Court, Courtice, L1E 2B1, appeared on behalf of the majority of the Bridle Court residents and thanked the applicant and members of staff for the consideration which was given to the concerns addressed by the residents pertaining to garbage and the erection of fencing. She displayed a map which she prepared showing the location of the drive-through restaurant which is located immediately south of her residence. She indicated that traffic entering and exiting from all directions will create a very unsafe vehicular situation and suggested that the restaurant be moved to the bottom left hand quadrant of the site. Mrs. Campbell requested the following crime and vandalism deterrents: proper lighting, speed bumps and police patrolling of the area She further noted that the proposed integrated Ianeway will travel bebind the 11 homes located on Bridle Court and requested that appropriate fencing be installed on the back of these properties. She requested that all of the residents be allowed to meet with Mr. Robert Hann prior to installation of this fence to allow them to have some input on the kind of fence which will be erected. ) ,i -, ,.1 I '-_ J-...I G.P.& A Minutes . PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. - 4- May 17, 1993 Greg Soyka, 1423 Nash Road, Courtice, LlK 1A5, expressed his concerns earlier in the meeting and requested that special cousideration be given to the surrounding residents, to withhold the noises associated with delivery vehicles early in the morning. Noone spoke in support of this application. . Robert Hann, Valiant Property Management, 177 Nonquon Road, 20th Floor, Oshawa, LlG 3S2, displayed an Artists' Rendering of the proposed plasa and noted concurrence with the recommendations contained in Report PD-81-93. He noted that the plan is such that it could result in a court if the backlots of the surrounding homes are developed. However, large homes compatible to the surrounding homes would have to be built on these lots and these recessionary times are not conducive to the purchase of lots and the building of these homes at the present time. He expressed willingness to exclude the uses to which residents of Bridle Court have stated opposition with the exception of the use of a tavern. He advised that he is able to place strong restrictions on the tavern owner so as to prohibit the disturbance of the inhabitants by noisy patrons. It would be difficult for him to relocate the drive-in restaurant to the south-west quadrant of the site as it is his intention to make this corner the gate-house office building for the entrance to the Town. To address the concerns of the residents pertaining to the creation of a dangerous vehicular situation, on-site and off-site traffic flow studies will be conducted. He emphasized the fact that the proposed food store use is critical to the success of this plaza He thanked the residents of Bridle Court for being realistic and he is very willing to further meet with them on the issue of fencing at the back of the 11 properties although he feels that this request is not totally fair.
